1 Claim.

This invention relates to a faucet.

The object of the invention is the production of a faucet for drawing beer and various carbonated beverages under pressure, and adapted to effervesce the beer or beverages as required.

The second object of the invention is the production of a faucet with a barrel and a valve casing inclined thereto for the easy flow of the uid operated with, and adapted to discharge said iiuid in a stream inclined to a vertical plane to easily enter a glass or container held in an inclined position.

The third object of the invention is the production of a faucet the parts of which can be easily dismembered for repairs and cleaning, and which can be easily installed in place.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents a side view with parts in section, of an exemplification of the improved faucet; Fig. 2 shows a right hand view of Fig. 1 partly in section; Fig. 3 indicates an enlarged section of Fig. 2 on the line 3, 3; Fig. 4 is a section of Fig. 3 on the line 4, 4 and Fig. 5 shows an enlarged section of Fig. 2 on the line 5, 5.

The faucet in this instance comprises the barrel 20, having the cylindrical inlet port 2l with the cylindrical outlet portion 22 of smaller diameter. The barrel 2li is shown having the exterior thread 23 and thel projecting collar 24 forming the shoulder 25. An inclined valve casing 38 is integral with and extends from the outlet end of the, barrel 28. The valve casing 39 is shown with its cylindrical chamber 3 I and has formed therewith the outlet nozzle 32 having the cylindrical outlet port 33, which latter is smaller 'in diameter than the diameter of the chamber 3l. A shoulder 34 is formed between the chamber 3i and the port 33. At the upper end of the outlet nozzle 32 is indicated a cylindrical operating chamber 35, having the shoulders 36 and 31 and the slot 38 in its central portion. The casing 38 is indicated with the exterior thread 39 at its upper end. A guide pin 40 extends from one side of the shell of the chamber 39. A cap 4i is shown with the sleeve 42 having the axial cylindrical guide opening 43 and the exterior thread 44. The cap 4i also has integral therewith the outer sleeve 45 having an interior thread. An inner guide barrel 46 extends from vthe sleeve 42. The sleeve 45 is in threaded engagement with the thread 39. A washer 41 of eiible packing is interposed between the cap 4i andthe top edgeof the shell of the valve casing l8|). An outer guide barrel 49 has an interior thed at its upper end, which is in threaded engagement with the thread 44 of the sleeve 42. Upon the shoulder 34 is seated the exible annular valve seat 55, preferably of rubber, having the spherical shaped seat per se 56 at the upper end of its opening. A metallic annular shaped 5 valve seat 58 is positioned upon the Valve seat 55 and has formed therewith the spherical shaped seat per se 59. An expanding split ring 60 is positioned in the chamber 3| and bears against the upper face of the valve seat 58 and the inner face l0 of the shell of the valve casing 30.

A ball or spherical shaped valve has extending therefrom the valve stem 66, which is slidably positioned in the opening of the guide barrel 46.

A helical spring 68 surrounds the guide'barrel 46 15 with one end bearing against the bottom face of the sleeve42 and its other end bears on the spherical shaped valve 65. In the operating chamber 35, see Figs. 3 and 5, is rotatively positioned the cylindrical shank 12, having the shoul- 20 der 12 which bears against the shoulder 36. The shank 12 has extending therefrom the handle member 14, The shank 12 has integral therewith the iiattened portion 16 and from the latter extends the pin 11 having the threaded end 18. 25 An annular groove 19 is formed in the shank 12 for the packing ring 80. A curved guide opening 8i concentric with the shank 12 is indica-ted in the handle member 14 for the guide pin 40. A second cylindrical shank coaxial with the shank 30 12 is also supported in the operating chamber 35 and has formed therewith the annular groove 86 for the packing ring 81.` The shank 85 at its inner'end bears against the shoulder 31. 'I'he shank 85 has formed therein the opening 90 and 35 has supported thereon the lowerl end of thev handle member 92 having the shank 93 integralv theren with. The handle member 14 also has a shank 93 not shown.v A exible washer 94 encircles the pin 11 and a nut 95 engages the threaded end 18. 40

An actuating lever 96 having the rounded end 91 is secured to the attened portion 16 of the shank 12. lThe rounded end 91 constitutes a cam surface.

A U shaped handle is indicated with the par- 45 allel members 98 tubular at their lower ends and has integral therewith the operating knob 180. The tubular ends of the members 98 engage the Shanks 93 of the handle members 14 and 92. Screws 184 tightly secure the members 98 to the 50 Shanks 93.

The vertical apron 106 of a bar or table is indicated with the opening |91. The threaded end 23 of the barrel 20 is positioned in the opening 181. A pyramidal washer M8 having the top 55 end and the bottom end ||2 encircles the barrel 20. The end of the said ,washer bears against the shoulder 25 and its bottom end ||2 bears against the apron |06. A lock nut III is in threaded engagement with the thread 23 and thereby the faucet is locked in operative position.

It will be noted that the coaction of the metallic valve seat 58 and the rubber valve seat 55 constitutes a double Valve seat, which is durable and flexible and on both seats of which the valve 65 is simultanenously seated. The metallic valve seat 58 secures durability and the rubber valve seat secures exiblity.

Attention is also called to the fact that the] inclination o'f the longitudinal axis of the valve casing 30 with respect to the longitudinal axis of the barrel 20 enhances the easy flow of the beer or other beverage from said barrel to said casing, and positions the nozzle for the easy discharge of the fluid flowing therethrough, to enter a glass orl other receptacle held in an inclined position under said nozzle.

The barrel 20 of the faucet is connected to the appurtenances for supply of beer or other beverage preferably under pressure.

To use the faucet a glass or other container is held under the outlet nozzle 32 and the operating knob 00 is swung in the direction of the arrow A, Fig. l, which causes the actuating lever 96 to swing up, andthe cam surface of its rounded end 91 bears up against the surface of the spherical shaped valve to lift the latter.

The knob |00 is swung in the direction of the arrow A to slightly lift the valve 65, wherebyv a small eiervescent quantity of the beer or other beverage is charged-into the glass to be filled. The coaction of the guide pin 40 and the curved guide opening 8| controls the length of the swing of the operating knob |00 and consequently the lift of the valve 65. After the glass or other container has been charged the required amount with the effervescent fluid, the operating knob |00 is swung in a direction opposite to the arrow A, whereby the valve 65 is forced to its seats 59 and 56 by the tension of the spring 68. The operator then quickly swings the operating knob |00 in the direction of the arrow A, to lift the valve 65 to ll the glass with the beer or other beverage.

Various modifications may be made in the invention and the present exemplication is to be taken as illustrative andfnot limitative thereof.

Having described my invention, I claim:

In a faucet the combination of a barrel, a valve casing forming a chamber at the outer end of said barrel, the longitudinal axis of said casing inclined to the longitudinal axis of the barrel a guide pin extending from the valve casing, an annular valve seat in the lower end of said casing, a valve adapted to bear on said valve seat, an outlet nozzle extending from said valve casing, said valve casing having a cylindrical operating chamber formed therein, said operating chamber having a slot leading therefrom, a cylindrical shank positioned in said cylindrical operating chamber, a flattenediportion extending from one end of said shank, a pin having a threaded end extending from said flattened portion, a washer supported on said pin and a nut engaging said threaded end, an adjusting lever having a rounded end with a cam surface suppported on said attened portion of said shank extending through said slot and adapted to lift said valve, automatic means to seat said valve on its seat, a handle member integral with and extending from the outer end of said shank, said handle member having aVJ curved guide opening concentric with its shank coacting with said guide pin, a second shank in said operating chamber surrounding the pin of the first shank, a second handle member having its lower end supported on the second shank, a U shaped handle connecting the upper ends of said handle members and an operating knob extending from said U shaped handle.
